Online published on 19 August, 2019. Abstract Background The segmental stability of vertebrae of lumbar spine is maintained by contraction of the transverse abdominis, multifidus. Impaired functioning of the deep stabilizers may lead to poor segmental stabilization which inclines to injury. In order to provide spinal stability it has been projected as a key component in controlling of chronic low back pain exercise programs aimed at augmenting strength, retraining these muscles. Objectives Present study was undertaken to compare the effect of motor control training on isolated lumbar stabilizer and core muscle training in chronic low back pain patients. Method A experimental study was conducted in and around hospitals of karad, following a simple random sampling technique on a sample size of 66. The participants were divided into 2 groups. Group A was given HMP, TENS, Motor Control Training and Group B was given HMP, TENS, Core Muscle Training. All outcome measure were assessed before starting and at the end of treatment. The data were analyzed using Instat Software. Result On comparing post treatment scores, there was no statistically significant difference in p values for NPRS and MODQ but was statistically significant difference in p values for Electromyography of transverse abdominis, multifidus. Conclusion The study concluded that Motor Control Training was found more effective than Core Muscle Training for patients with chronic low back pain.
